Why, I don't usually see author titles on blog posts? In fact, none of the front page links have author names right now.

  In this case, it's better off without the name in the headline. Many people would probably assume that anything by Glenn Beck would be far-right nonsense (sorry, I would, even if you wouldn't) but it seems to me that it's actually an honest and fair report. I thought he made some good points.

    It blew me away since I read the whole thing and then got to the bottom to see who wrote it.

    Agree. It's a very honest post. TBH I often feel the same, from the other point of view: when did "being a leftist" started meaning "pitchforks on Twitter on the slimmest excuse"? But it did -- because, in the end, any group of humans, no matter how well-intentioned, will eventually encounter the same old problems with groupthink, enforcing rules and so on. Any group. So it's really nice to see the occasional individual going "hang on, we weren't supposed to do this!" and self-criticize a bit, show some real doubt. Even if it's fake (it might all be a play to score honesty points, who knows), it's still nice to see and I wish more people on all sides could do it more often.
